2 Esdras 11:8 In-Context

6 And I saw that all things under heaven were subject unto her; and no man spoke against her, no, not one creature upon earth.

7 And I beheld, and lo, the eagle rose upon her talons, and spoke to her feathers, saying,

8 "Watch not all at once. Sleep every one in his own place, and watch by course;

9 but let the heads be preserved for the last."

10 And I beheld, and lo, the voice went not out of her heads, but from the midst of her body.
